Comparison of the 13C (1H coupled and decoupled) α- and β-anomers of KDO monomer signals, to those of the K15 capsular polysaccharide signals for determination of the anomeric configuration of KDO in K15. (A) Schemes showing the H3a to C1 three-bond torsion in α- and β-KDO, respectively. (B, C) 13C 1H -coupled (red) and 13C 1H -decoupled spectra of KDO (B) and K15 (C), demonstrating that α-KDO is the K15 constituent. Figure 5A was created with PyMol 2.4 (www.schrodinger.com/pymol); the coordinates for α/β-KDO were obtained from CarbBuilder (www.organ.su.se/gw/doku.php?id=carbbuilder).
